Meltdown GID 8” Dunny by Chris Ryniak

Meltdown Glow in the Dark 8” Dunny by Chris Ryniak

Remember the days when collectors would beg Kidrobot to transform their favorite 3” Dunny designs into giant 8” Dunnys? They’d start “petitions” on the Kidrobot message boards that had thousands of “signatures” but it never worked. Now all of a sudden KR is reusing designs left and right (not that that’s a bad thing)! Chris Ryniak’s Meltdown Dunny from 2012’s Apocalypse Series is one of the most popular 3” designs released in the past few years, and I’m sure fans are going to go crazy over these florescent, glow in the dark 8 inch colorways.

Kidrobot’s Dunny went on holiday to Chernobyl, which turned out to be a very bad idea. GID and semi-translucent, Chris Ryniak’s Meltdown Dunny is an 8 inch vinyl glowing ghost featuring dead eyes and what’s left of his pet fish. Only 500 of each color edition survived, and each is exclusively available through a specific type of retailer. The Green Edition is sold through Kidrobot retail stores, the Yellow Edition is available through Kidrobot.com, the Pink Edition is sold through specialty toy stores here in the US, and the Orange Edition will be available internationally through specialty toy shops overseas. What’s your favorite color? The Blot’s going with the Pink Edition Meltdown.

The Meltdown 8” Dunny by Chris Ryniak goes on sale February 14th and will retail for $75 each. Good luck collecting all 4!
